As a business operating in Miami Beach, you may have questions about flood risk and flood insurance.
Although our sun-kissed island is surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach is vulnerable to flooding due to its low-lying topography and the effects of climate change. We want you to be aware of your flood risk, insure your business, and understand what resources are available to you. The City of Miami Beach is leading the way locally and nationally to reduce risk. We are investing in public infrastructure to keep our streets and sidewalks dry. This includes raising roads, installing stormwater pumps, raising sea walls, implementing green infrastructure, and creating higher elevation standards for new construction. We save residents and businesses $6 million annually in flood insurance premiums through our strong participation in the Community Rating System.
